It depends of you already have the factory hids or not. Of you do then you can just switch bulbs but dont get 10k. You'll lose the visibility. Go with 6 or 8 k

Your visibility will be GREATLY reduced. In the rain, you might as well forget about it.

You would only buy the bulb for low beams atleast. I wouldn't recommend 10k your losing a large amount of light for a rice color blue.

Like the others have said, stick to 6k at the most. Anything above that you lose a lot of the light output and visibility. Not to mention ugly looking.
I believe stock is 4.3k, so the 6k are whiter and have a slight blue hue to them. I noticed a little drop in visibility when I put 6K in, but the whiter light was worth it for me.
I saw a vehicle lastnight that had 10-12k bulbs that were purple, looked like crap and provided almost no illumination other than making the rear bumper of the truck in front of him purple and a "neon" glow on the ground.

Agreed. I'm running 6000k bulbs and even that I noticed a decent drop in light output. I could only imagine 10/12k

Please do some more research on this topic before you make a purchase. Like others have posted, a 10,000K (not 10k) would be a drastic reduction in visibility and look like steamed rice to boot.

You should probably head over to a forum like www.hidplanet.com for an informed discussion on the topic of HIDs.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
5K will give you the whitest light with no hint of blue and no loss in visibility. I'm running 6K and will be switching soon.
